9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The CDCLVP2106 is a low additive jitter LVPECL fan-out buffer that can generate two copies each of two independent LVPECL, LVDS, or LVCMOS inputs. The CDCLVP2106 can accept reference clock frequencies up to 2 GHz while providing low output skew.

9.2 Typical Application

Figure 20 shows a fan-out buffer for line-card application.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

The CDCLVP2106 shown in Figure 20 is configured to be able to select two inputs: a 156.25-MHz LVPECL clock from the backplane, or a secondary 156.25-MHz LVCMOS 2.5-V oscillator. Either signal can be then fanned out to desired devices, as shown.

The configuration example is driving 4 LVPECL receivers in a line-card application with the following properties:

  • The PHY device has internal AC coupling and appropriate termination and biasing. The CDCLVP2106 must be provided with 86-Ω emitter resistors near the driver for proper operation.
  • The ASIC is capable of DC coupling with a 2.5-V LVPECL driver such as the CDCLVP2106. This ASIC features internal termination so no additional components are needed.
  • The FPGA requires external AC coupling but has internal termination. Again, 86-Ω emitter resistors are placed near the CDCLVP2106, and 0.1 μF are placed to provide AC coupling. Similarly, the CPU is internally terminated and requires external AC coupling capacitors.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Refer to Input Termination for proper input terminations, dependent on single ended or differential inputs.

Refer to LVPECL Output Termination for output termination schemes depending on the receiver application.

Unused outputs can be left floating.

In Figure 20, the PHY, ASIC, and FPGA/CPU require different schemes. Power supply filtering and bypassing is critical for low-noise applications.

See Power Supply Recommendations for recommended filtering techniques. A reference layout is provided on the CDCLVP2106 Evaluation Module, Low Additive Phase Noise Clock Buffer Evaluation Board User's Guide (SCAU037).

9.2.3 Application Curves

The low additive noise of the CDCLVP2106 can be shown in this line-card application. The low-noise, 156.25-MHz XO with 32-fs, RMS jitter drives the CDCLVP2106, resulting in 57 fs, RMS when integrated from 10 kHz to 20 MHz. The resultant additive jitter is a low 47 fs, RMS for this configuration.
